I wouldn't worry about what JamesB said. TheProf's wife is very concerned about her situation and upset enough to weep about it in a public doctor's office. This in not the behavior of an adulteress, who would be avoiding the issue or blaming it on her man for "doing it wrong".

Prof, your GYN should be servicing a different orifice--I think he would feel a great affinity for other assholes. I would not just try a different pill, because the difference is not so great; rather, I think your instincts were right about trying a different delivery method. I have tried 4 (pill, patch, shot, now trying ring) and they are all different. On the pill I feel great, but unfortunately I can't remember it well enough. On the patch I am plenty interested in sex, but get horrific mood swings and heavy period. On the shot, I only wanted sex maybe once a week (very low for me) and had my period for 2 months straight!

Getting a new prescription for a different method is easy through your regular doctor, so if you can't find a good GYN before the time is up, you can go to your GP. But you should try to see a GYN anyway just because they have better knowlege of the different options. Definitely ask your female friends if they have a recommendation. If they don't, then I would recommend a GYN who serves a younger audience because most ladies do their experimenting with birth control when they are younger and thus you will get a doctor who is more familiar with this kind of issue (as opposed to a doc who sees only octegenarians). You can find this kind of doc at clinics near colleges or in hip urban centers.

Good luck!
